Summary: Lois and Clark's relationship is put to the test when General Lane stops by for a visit. Can Clark prove his worth to Lois' father? Meanwhile, Tess continues to try and earn the trust of Oliver Queen. Read Full Article

I understand that Clark and Lois have sex, but after last week's FCC dodging sex scene, I'd prefer some subtlety. I mean, I think teens and adults know that when Clark and Lois sleep in the same bed, their having sex too.
I agree that Lois and Clark's relationship is an important part of this season, but let's not forget that it shouldn't be the only story being told and if I'm correct Darkseid should be trying to reign hell down on Metropolis. Although, Darkseid hasn't been mentioned in the last three episodes.
Lucy Lane was handled a bit hypocritically since she's manipulative enough to try and destroy Clark's relationship with Lois and dumb enough not to of seen past Rick Flag's ruse. I didn't get the whole Suicide Squad are vigilante's angle because Amanda Waller hired them. I was a little surprised to see the the Elija Wood+Kim Coates looking guy being a freak and possibly an incantation of Bolt from the comics. The Ollie and Tess scene just chewed up time with a meaningless conversation that only served news that Ollie might leave Smallville, although I would of loved to of seen Tess mention she's raising the evil clone of the man Oliver killed and to see his reaction. I'm just waiting to see new DCU characters like Desaad, Granny Goodness, Mad Harriet (possibly Lashina), Blue Beetle and Booster Gold, Aquaman and Mera, and Deathstroke. And why am I supposed to care that the Bolt character blew up Happy Harry's anti-vigilante center when there wasn't any sign of life in the building (after dark, no lights on or commotion)? Why should I care that Happy Harry will have to pay a couple hundred thousand dollars in property damage? But then again trying to find logic in an episode of Smallville is like trying to find a Vatican priest without a boy in his closet.

I thought it was amusing that the General figured out pretty much immediately after Lois is saved that Clark has super-powers. Everyone else is completely oblivious. How many times does Lois need to be saved before she figures out that the only way she would be saved over and over is if someone close to her knew exactly where she was? How many episodes (or comics) did it take before she figured it out?

At least she didn't jump out a window or shoot Clark with a gun like she did in Superman 2.

Ha not to mention it only took Lex 6 or 7 seasons to figure out Clark's secret and it only took 2 episodes seperated by about 3 seasons for Sam Lane to figure it out. Unless Sam thinks Clark's secret is that he smokes weed or is relatively unintelligent compared to Lois.

I kind of enjoyed this one! I thought it was kind of obvious that they were going to get engaged, but that's based on some dialogue in 10x04 where future-lois tells clark that he proposed when he first told her he was the blur. so i'd been under the assumption that clark's monologue at the end of 10x05 was going to lead into that. ah well.
also, rick flag is probably smallville's version of rick flag

Actually, that moment in season 4 doesn't mention an engagement. She just mentions their anniversary of the day he trusted her and told her his secret. The rest of their interactions gave me the impression they weren't even "together" in the public eye.

anyone else think this registration storyline is ripping of Marvel's Civil War arc from a few years back. its interesting but it would be better if they did come out of the shadows and finally appear to the public as superheroes.

IGN has been really spot on with their reviews of smallville this year. The suicide squad arc and the character of cat grant have brought down this season a little bit. The Darkseid and Lex stories have potential.
Otherwise, this episode was pretty good.

So this vigilante registration act is only for like the 7 heroes on smallville ? I think they should take this storyline and push it to the next level. Like, they can introduce the bigger heroes like batman and flash (even just by a subtle mention. That's the only way you can make it really work out. There also seems to be to many things going on at once with them continuing the darksied story next week and the lex story going on too. With everything else going on this story should of been left out and made more for a movie or something. Right now it just feels too out of place with the continuity of clark kents rise to become the man of steel. Otherwise solid episode and i dont think there's been a bad one yet

jiraya105- Maybe if you watch the old smallville episodes you'll know flash is already in there.

I wanna know if I missed something? They didn't even explain what happened to lucy in season 4. The last we saw of her she was in trouble with loan sharks who got owned by lex but then she took the money and ran from teh feds by stealing a car and driving off.

They could have atleast given something to explain how she got out of that likle her daddy general sorting it out lol.

@FrankCastle01: lol totally agree about the batman thing. Apparently ppl dont quite comprehend the timeline. Bruce is on the other side of the world training. In most time lines he doesnt return and become batman until his late 20s or even very early 30s

This was one of the best episodes of the season, and one of Erica Durance's best performances on the show. To rate it an 8, lower than that absolutely horrible ISIS episode, which was only redeemed by its ending moment, is ridiculous. Come on Chris, how the hell can you possibly rate this an 8.0?!?!

I have to agree with the reviewer, I find the Lois cand Clark storyline much more intriguing than the Suicide Squad or Darkseid. I think a lot of it has to do with Emily's performance as Lois. There's just something great with what she's doing this year.

The Suicide Squad siding with the vigilantes and taking it to the extreme with terrorist attacks and all is all part of what Darkseid wants. In the comics, he wanted everyone to lose faith and turn against the heroes. So it seems like this is all tying into the overall arc.
